For example, in the graph below, an analyst might conclude from the size histogram alone that all particles are around the 50-micron range, with a few unusual peaks. However, relying solely on size ...

The Coghill family have taken a long-term, sustainable approach to managing its Merino flock, and is reaping the rewards for producing quality lamb and wool.

Universoul Cafe, a food recovery organization in Sacramento, suffered a devastating break-in over the weekend.

But its filtration of particles in the 0.3- to 1.0-micron range — including smoke particles — drops from 50% or greater to between 20% and 34%. Unless cost is a paramount concern, we think the ...

The eddy current displacement sensors (ECDSs) are widely used in precision industrial applications, but they are susceptible to temperature drift under varying temperature conditions, which limits ...

However, existing sensor technologies face a trade-off between measurement range and accuracy: Pirani gauges offer a wide measurement range but lack precision, while capacitance diaphragm gauges (CDGs ...

Continuous monitoring of vascular stent health is crucial for high-risk patients. Current approaches predominantly rely on inductive coupling, which limits the wireless reading distance and requires ...

Owing to their applications in high-temperature superconductivity and aerospace fields, sensors capable of high-sensitivity detection at cryogenic temperatures have gained significant importance. This ...
